Eyebrow Color and Coloring eyebrow
Did you know that brows should be a little lighter than your hair color? Its true...about two shades. If you are blond or gray however, the opposite is true.
How to choose your best eyebrow color
Always choose a brow color that matches or flatters your haircolor and skin tone. In general, natural-looking brows for day and stronger, more dramatic brows for evening.
If you make a dramatic change in your haircolor, lighten or darken your brows accordingly. You'll find more color choices in powder brow colors than in pencils. Experiment with a few shades to find your best look - perfectionists can even blend 1-2 colors together for a custom effect.
Sharpen pencils before every use for precise shaping. If you use powder formulas, wash the brush and air-dry after every 2-3 uses. The brush will drag, skip, and spill too much color if it's overloaded with powder.
What to see when using eyebrow coloring
The rule of thumb for brow color is for dark haired people to go one or two shades lighter for their brows and for light haired people to go two shades darker. Many African-American and Hispanic women report that the dark brown powder works exceptionally well (although we do get some who report black was best). Asian women tell us that the soft black powder creates a beautiful look for them.
When filling in eyebrows, use a dark brown instead of black for a more natural look. Black is too harsh for eyebrows.
